Bread and Butter Jalapenos-Refrigerator Pickles

My grandfather & I would make bread and butter pickles when I was young. They are my favorite and to this day and I can not eat a grilled cheese sandwich unless it has a few slices of bread and butter pickles in the sandwich.The jalapeno plant is FULL of peppers! I wanted to try something different and saw this recipe on Happier Than A Pig In Mud ( love the name).Myra- this is as good as the Jalapeno Relish that you liked. There is an added bonus- no canning!Ingredients:1 1/2 C sliced jalapenos*, 1/4" thick1/4 C onion, sliced ( used a white onion)1/2 C sugar1/4 C vinegar-(used cider vinegar)1/2 tsp celery seed3/4 tsp saltDirections:Add all ingredients to a medium size non metal bowl. The metal, especially aluminum, reacts with the vinegar and makes the pickle solution turn cloudy. Allow to sit on the counter for 2-3 hours. This point the peppers should be covered with liquid. Stir occasionally.Transfer ingredients to a canning jar or any clean jar with a tight fitting lid.Place in fridge and the flavor will intensify after a few days.* please always wear gloves when cutting peppers Featured 8/23/2016 on Wonderful WednesdayFeatured 8/25/2016 on Thursday Favorite Things

Wow those look super easy-even a non canner like me could handle this one. :) How spicy are these, Linda? We love heat, but it doesn't love us any more...a little is OK though. I don't know if my plants are going to give me enough peppers this year...it hasn't been a banner garden year for us. :(

OH BOY Linda, this is one for me. Jalapenos are going on my shopping list, and all the other ingredients I don't have here in the house. This will be for me for sure. Thank you so much. Of course, NOTHING is going to beat your relish, but if you say this is close, I will try it for sure. Thank you for posting this one. I will let you know when I make it.

Linda I will make this and hope I get some.Larry has been known to eat a small jar in a couple of days.My sister in law makes some similar and he devours them. When I make a sandwhich with them I use Peanut Butter.

I've never had bread and butter pickles made with jalapenos - your recipe sounds really flavourful! How lovely that you used to make them with your Grandpa - lovely family food history memories! Thank you for sharing this post with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop.
